Gabriel Emanuel Foxworth, a 27-year-old man from Marion, South Carolina, was sentenced to 156 months imprisonment in federal court in Florence, South Carolina for gun and marijuana trafficking charges.
According to the evidence presented at the earlier change of plea hearing, on August 27, 2014, a Marion County Combined Drug Unit officer saw Foxworth driving a car on Gregg Avenue and subsequently arrested him because his license was suspended and police had an active warrant for his arrest.
During a pat down search of Foxworth, police found a 9mm pistol loaded with 14 rounds of ammunition in Foxworth’s waistband. Police searched Foxworth’s car and located a quantity of marijuana inside the car.
Foxworth has prior convictions for distributing cocaine (2007) and possession with intent to distribute marijuana (2012).
Chief United States District Judge R. Bryan Harwell of Florence sentenced Foxworth to 36 months for the marijuana charge and 120 months for the firearm charge.
The case was investigated by agents of the ATF and Marion County Combined Drug Unit. This case was prosecuted as part of the joint federal, state and local Project CeaseFire initiative, which aggressively prosecutes firearm cases. Assistant United States Attorney Christopher D. Taylor of the Florence office prosecuted the case.
